quotes by Morrissey

It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind

A push and it's over
Alabaster crashes down
Six months is a long time
Tried living in the real world
Instead of a shell
But before I began
I was bored before I even began"
— Morrissey

And the rocks below say,

At last"

May seem wrong to you
But, I've never been surer
It's my life to ruin
My own way..."

"A sad fact widely known
The most impassionate song
To a lonely soul
Is so easily outgrown
But dont forget the songs
That made you smile
And the songs that made you cry
When you lay in awe
On the bedroom floor
And said : oh, oh, smother me mother...
No ...
Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring
La ...

The passing of time
And all of its crimes
Is making me sad again
The passing of time
And all of its sickening crimes
Is making me sad again
But dont forget the songs
That made you cry
And the songs that saved your life
Yes, youre older now
And youre a clever swine
But they were the only ones who ever stood by you

The passing of time leaves empty lives
Waiting to be filled (the passing ...)
The passing of time
Leaves empty lives
Waiting to be filled
Im here with the cause
Im holding the torch
In the corner of your room
Can you hear me ?
And when youre dancing and laughing
And finally living
Hear my voice in your head
And think of me kindly
"
— Morrissey

"I am very serious about my baby."
— Morrissey

""And no reason to talk about the books I read but I still do...""

"Oh yes, you can kick me
And you can punch me
And you can break my face
But you won't change the way i feel
'cause i love you
"
— Morrissey
